Doxie Go + Wi-Fi now out with Eye-Fi card for $239
Apparent, the company that makes the Doxie Go portable and wireless scanner, has now unveiled the Doxie Go + Wi-Fi. The new device gets the addition of Wi-Fi thanks to the bundled EyeFi X2 SD memory card, and can scan without a PC, saving documents to its internal memory. There are now more options thanks to the new wireless radio, with uploads to Windows and Mac computers, iOS devices, or the cloud.
As before, there is a built-in battery for completely wireless use. The original Doxie Go needed to sync with computers using a USB cable. Wi-Fi syncing works with iPhones and iPads.
The new scanner is now shipping for $239. An Eye-Fi wireless SD card is bundled with the scanner, and while its capacity isn't listed, judging by the price premium, it's the 4GB X2 Connect that retails on its own for $50.
